I will be updating this page with my personal experience in July when I return from my ABU Oddessy in June 2018.

I have been invited to meet and fish with Len Borgstrom , when welcomed at the Svangsta  factory,  and also stay and dine at the Fiskestugen/ABU Fishing Lodge with my long time friend  and ex owner of the ABU complex. My friend of nearly as many years Uffe Edefuhr has had long connections at the Svangsta plant and with accompany us.

Excitement is NOT a sufficient word for the upcoming trip!

             Journalism at its Best...ABU Best!

Fred Jobson was the lucky man who had to endure the trip to Sweden in 1991 and experience all the wonders of ABU land and now shares to all of us fans out in  ABU World! Congratulations and thanks Fred!

Here is a  reprint of his article in Modern Fishing Yearbook of 1991.

The hereto 31 unpublished images of the trip are linked here.

 

 Anyone else who has had similar experiences with ABU and would like to share, please contact me here
